Phenol Crystal

Phenol is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C6H5OH. It is a white crystalline solid that is volatile. The molecule consists of a phenyl group (-C6H5)
bonded to a hydroxyl group (-OH). It is mildly acidic, but requires
careful handling due to its propensity to cause chemical burns. It is an
important industrial commodity as a precursor to many materials and
useful compounds.

Its major uses involve its conversion to
plastics or related materials. Phenol and its chemical derivatives are
key for building polycarbonates, epoxies, Bakelite, nylon, detergents,
herbicides such as phenoxy herbicides, and numerous pharmaceutical
drugs.
